Willie Mullins and Ryan Moore have enjoyed success in this before and last year’s runner-up Bring On The Night is a clear ante-post favourite. Nicky Henderson returns Ahorsewithnoname to the Flat though the latter is 10lb higher than when last successful in this code while Solent Gateway beat Law Of The Sea over 2m at Haydock and the latter had earlier finished in front of CALLING THE WIND in the Chester Cup. But Richard Hughes’ charge finished a creditable third at last year’s Royal Ascot in the Queen Alexandra Stakes and the likely fast ground will suit. Zoffee went close in the Chester Cup while Zinc White scored in soft going at Chester when beating Novel Legend while Irish Lullaby is worth a second glance stepping up in trip for Jessica Harrington.
